I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. I only got this number about a month ago. Apparently someone else had the number before because I get texts from his family members wondering whats going on. I got one yesterday and the person didn't seem to thrilled that the number was cutoff and today I got 2 texts about iCloud Keychain which I don't even know what it is. Seems suspicious to me. If the person who use to own the number is doing it he should know it is not his number anymore because he obviously didn't pay his bills. I'm not too sure about iCloud Keychain so just want to know my info safe?? It says it can store credit card numbers which is what gets me worried. Frankly I think it's pretty stupid to save that kind if information with any kind of app. But I don't want some random person trying to access my personal information because they are bitter they lost their number. Please let me know as soon as possible so I can change passwords or anything that is needed.
thanks
If it were me, I would go to my carrier and get a new number. Since you have only had it for a month, the inconvenience would be minimal.

I keep getting an iCloud Keychain verification code texted to me however I have not asked for one? Is my information at risk?
Welcome to the Apple Community Hoopes.
Its not possible to say from that information, you may want to contact AppleCare
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support. -
Icloud keychain verification code text never arrives
I've been going through this process over and over and I never get the text message I need to get this rolling. It's making me crazy I've tried started from my iPhone and my mac same result no code by text message ever arrives. ios 8.1.3 and OS 10.9.5
Hello michelesapple,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you are unable to receive the iCloud Keychain verification code. I'm sorry this is causing so much frustration, but it is understandable as it's a great feature to use. To troubleshoot this specific issue where you're not receiving the SMS, please follow the steps below.
If you didn't receive the verification code via SMS
Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
Make sure that your phone number can get SMS messages. To check, ask someone to send you a text message.
Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. (In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain.) Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Options next to Keychain. (In OS X Mavericks or earlier, click iCloud, then click Account Details.) Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help setting up iCloud Keychain.

I have been trying to work on my homework all afternoon, via NAU's blackboard system. I am continuously getting booted out of the system, with an error stating "Data execution prevention". How can I prevent this from continuing?
If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

I using mozilla firefox so long times but it just get problem today because i can't type in english words but i can type in thai and some buttons is not english but it's other alphbets that i can't read and it's happening with yahoo and friendster and not sure for other website

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)Same problem with the mouse, but with the mouse I can leave the cursor in place in the text field and move to the keyboard to type. As long as the cursor is in the field it stays editable.
The problem with the pen is it's in my hand all of the time. I just flip it up under my thumb against my palm to type. So, as soon as I move the pen, the field goes away and I can't type in it. Hoping this is making sense.
My tablet does have the touch function too, and I just found out I can use my finger to tap in the text field, then type. I guess that'll be my solution since I prefer not to leave a mouse set up on this iMac.
I'm thinking now that this is just a problem with the pen itself, and nothing to do with iPhoto. So glad to have this figured out! I really like iPhoto '11! So much easier for me, a simple P&S gal, than Aperture 3. I use iPhoto Library Manager too and love it!
Thanks so much! Debbie -
If I buy a ipad mini with cellular, and not sign up for cellular service, can I use the onboard GPS, or does it depend on the cell signal since it is aGPS?
Right. But as I understand it, the aGPS is a function that speeds location using cell signals, but isn't necessary for the GPS signal. I can buy a plugin device that is a real GPS that I can use with my iPad mini. However, I would need an app for maps. I was wondering if anyone had used one of these.

My iPhone 5 is experiencing problems with the Wifi at home. It shows that it is connected to the wifi but anything that uses wifi (apps etc) doesn't load content and just looks like it's loading forever but nothing ever comes. However the wifi and wifi/internet dependant apps work sometimes but it's rare. How do I fix this?
Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist. -
When I first turned in iCloud keychain I had no other Apple devises so I put in a phone number for it to send my verification number to. Then I had to delete that phone number but the iCloud keychain number is still saying it is going to send the verification number to that phone. How do I program in that that number is no longer active. Please help!!!!!
Hello Conor T,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you do not have access to the phone number you set up for iCloud Keychain, you will need to contact Apple Support to complete setup on a new device.
How do I set up iCloud Keychain on a new device if I don't have one of my other devices to approve from?
If you can't access any of your other devices that are using iCloud Keychain, you can still set up iCloud Keychain on another device if you have these items:
Your iCloud Security Code
The device that is using the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain. A verification code is sent via SMS to this phone number. If you can't access this number, contact Apple Support, who can verify your identity, so that you can complete setup on your new device.
After you complete the setup, your iCloud Keychain will be pushed from the cloud to the new device.

I keep getting this message every time I log in. Why? I have an iMac with sharing on for my networked printer and to share file between the iMac and my MacBook. Can anyone help?
This is an annoying but not disastrous thing. Your computer sends messages on your home network and each message includes its name. If your computer is restarted or if it goes to sleep and wakes up all those messages should now gone but sometimes when the computer reconnects to the network it picks up a message with its name in it. Your computer doesn't realize its an old message from itself, it thinks the message is from a computer with the same name and that's not permitted so your computer's name is automatically changed.
Temporary solution (or not): turn everything off - your computers, printers, internet modem and router; any and all devices that are connected to your network. Then restart them. I hear about this issue all the time and this solution has been temporary for some people (days, weeks, or months) and for others it has seemingly solved it totally. -
I received a message saying I must change my iCloud pass code keychain due to changes in the server. Is this a hoax?
Dang! And if I already did before thinking it might be a scam, what can I do about at this point? I did just reset my password again after realizing it might be a scam, but is that sufficient and is there anything else I should look into to see if any damage was already done? Thanks.

can i use both at the same time?
Replacing your router is like a heart transplant for your network. Everything changes.
Power down your modem, disconnect your Extreme, and connect the new Time Capsule. Power up the modem and then the TC.
AirPort Utility will lead you through its setup.
You may need to reconfigure your wireless printers and anything else that was a client of the Extreme.
You may use both at the same time, but only one device should function as your router. Decide which one that will be - it doesn't really matter which, assuming they are both recently produced units. The Extreme can be used to "extend" the TC's wireless network, or the other way around. -
A Playlist idiot. Why can't I get this to work?
In iTunes I have music Playlists set to shuffle (blue double arrow button) and audio books Playlist set no shuffle. I have been unable to get my iPod to follow these settings. A suggested work around is to use the iPod Settings to set the shuffle function to "songs" when playing music and then switching to off for audio books. There has to be a better way. How do I set the Playlists on my iPod to function the same as it does on iTunes?
LeftyLucy,
Using your process are you able to set your iPod to shuffle then listen to the audio book without it shuffling the chapters? I have tried your suggestion with the iPod setting set to shuffle and the chapters shuffled. This is the issue from my original post. I want to listen to music with the shuffle function and listen to audio books (no shuffle) without having to change the settings every time I switch.
Keep in mind that is not a purchased audio nor a imported book.
Using a tip from the following post:
Tom Graves, "A Playlist idiot. Why can't I get this to work?" #11, 05:26pm Sep 28, 2005 CDT
I have attempted to make the audio book file into an authenticate file but that did not help. -
Apple texted me my iCloud Keycahin verification code on my phone
In Dec. 2014, Apple texted me an iCloud Keychain verification code number. I'm not sure what I needed it for anymore, or what I was suppose to do with it. Just in case, I wrote it down at home.
Since then though, I've kept the text on my phone, but I think this is unwise.
Is it stored somewhere else on my phone that would accessible so I could find it, if I needed it for some reason?
Should I delete the text?Hello Conor T,
